re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **
Greetings!
Long time Lurker first time poster here, Human female age 20- occupation illustrationist in training.
Location: California
Learned about this site on a whim, Always had an obsession with props- have a small collection of comic, game and movie based ones pertaining mostly to Star wars (Mando merc hopeful here), predator, The Alien franchise, mass effect, dragon age, halo, as I said comics (Not company loyal so DC, Marvel, Even some dark horse) and others
Its hard to say what my favorite is but when it comes to quantity my star wars stuff definitely dominates my room.
I came across this place in the hopes it existed by simply typing in "props" and "forum " into my search engine of choice.
Admittedly I joined in the hopes I could find someone into metal work who would help me with my dragon age 2 interest or a skilled artist who would help me finally get my hands on a Tali helmet- buuut (the search hasn't been abandoned ...) It would appear I'm in good company here and may get more out of it by simply discussing my interest with like minds.
I hope to get to know some of you and maybe make a few friend's who share my ...obsession is such a strong word.
Ta~

I just joined. As the intro to this thread indicates, I waited far too long to actually join and participate, however I have been searching and reviewing this post for some time. I am eternally appreciative of all who have contributed to this site and the weatlh of knowledge and experience you share freely with others. As my sons are older, hopefully now have more time to tinker and participate, so here I am.
I began prop making as a poor child who initally could not afford the toys, or when the toy was purchased, did not care for the inaccurate details so I would either build a reasonable facsimile using whatever I could scrounge, or modify what I bought. Mostly my projects were for Halloween or every day play and many were played with until they literally fell apart, either by myself and then eventually my sons.
Now, I hope to rebuild some of the items of my youth and craft other items of interest for display and perhaps finally finish all of those little projects I started years ago when priorities kept changing.
I look forward to participating and thank all of you for having this forum as such an extensive resource.

Hello,
I was reading this forum for a while and I am really impressed with some builds people show here. This is my first post and I would like to introduce myself a bit.
I am 38 year old IT analyst. I live in Toronto, Canada. Although I am not new to model building, I don't have much experience and still can be considered newbie.
I finally have some time, money and space to build Star Wars models.
My collection:
Here are some of my 'completed' builds - I know they are nothing compare to some builds people show here but I thought I'd still attach them...:rolleyes

Hi y'all,
I've already posted a few times on here, and so thought it time that I did so here, to this introductory thread.
Born and reared, in rural, north central Kentucky, the only other thing than the natural world that I was entranced by was movies and TV. Being an artsy sort, what most caught my eye has been the "other cast members" - the props.
The thing is, while I like what I've seen, as an artisan, I'ld rather have things that more suite me. (As can be seen by my work on Djinni bottles.)

Hi, I'm from Iowa, currently in Afghanistan.
I don't build much, since I'm rarely at home, but I do like purchasing, since most people are much more skilled than I am. I know my limits, art is not one of my skill sets. I really like the Magneto helmets Racer Mach X builds, but I can never get a hold of him.
SloeDjinn ~ Nice picture of Harvey and Me! Of all movie props of all time, if I could own one, it would be that painting. I have searched extensively for it, and actually got an email from someone once who sent me pictures and said they bought it at an estate sale. Unfortunately, the email went into my junk folder and by the time I replied three months later, I got no response from the sender. Search continues...

My brother is a member of this site and introduced me to it. I am a huge Star Wars fan and have two children a boy 6 and a girl 4 that are also Star Wars Fans. Last year I made a custom Jedi Custom from scratch because the ones that I was finding didn't have the quality that I wanted and I wanted to do some customizing to it. Since then I have gotten into movie props since putting together pieces for my custom that I couldn't make. This looks like a really cool site and am looking forward to seeing everything that everyone has to offer.

Ohhai guys.
I've been browsing this forum for a while, and I'm glad to have registered. Looking at all these builds has inspired me to try my own projects, and the amount of resources for doing so on here are astounding.
Thanks~

Hello all,
I've been an avid builder of just about everything since as far back as i can remember. I'm currently a member of other prop making sites, but those are more specific to one genre. Upon finding this site I realized that this is the site for me.
Looking forward to showing off some of my items!

Good morning. My name is Chris, I live about 15 miles east of Syracuse. The Stiletto from The Expendables is what got me interested in movie props. Although I like the movie and all, if I was to collect items specific to a few movies it would be the Indiana Jones movies. I have been playing around with the Oxley map and Mutt's letter, while researching to do a grail diary. I hope this breaks the ice, thanks for looking.

Hello All!
I found this site by doing a search for a replica of the Skele-Gro bottle used in the Harry Potter films. My kids and I are making a witch's potion bottle cabinet and thought that bottle would make a great addition to our collection.
We like DIY projects as it's something fun to do together but some props are way more advanced than our skills! We have found some fabulous ideas here and everyone seems so friendly. We're gettng some awesome tips and can't wait to see what else is on here!

Hello RPF!
My name is Craig. I'm 37 years old. Born and raised in Michigan. Married with 4 kids. Star Wars Fanatic and anything else pretty much Sci-Fi/Fantasy related.
I've ran across this site a few months back while doing research for my quest to become a 501st member. I've gotten a few pieces together for my Galactic Marine, and when searching out how to make some of the gear/props that's how I found this site. I actually looked into Prop building nearly 20 years ago when I was looking at colleges. Now I'm kinda kicking myself for not doing so. Live and learn.
